Do you know the story of the Cowherd(牛郎) and theWeaver Girl? The Cowherd happened to meet the Weaver Girl. After some time, the Weaver Girl decided to marryhim and they had a family. When the Cowherd went out to work, the Weaver Girl weaved cloth(织物) at home every day. Later, they had two children and lived a happy life.
In fact, the Weaver Girl was a daughter of the Emperor of Heaven. She could weave colorful clouds to make the sky more beautiful. When the Emperor of Heaven found she was on the earth, he was very angry and ordered Xiwangmu to bring her back.
One fine day, a rainstorm suddenly broke out when the Weaver Girl was working.She realized that Xiwangmu came to take her back. She told the Cowherd what would happen. Then she had to fly away with Xiwangmu. The Cowherd tried to follow his wife with their children. However, Xiwangmu made a river called"Milky Way"with her magic hairpin(发夹,发针). Because of that, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl couldn't get together. It's said that many magpies(喜鹊) fly to the Milky Way to make a bridge for the couple on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month every year. Then they could get together.
In 2021, a group of elephants decided to go north! After months of traveling, they made it 500 kilometers away from their home in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan.
Asian elephants don't usually travel such a long way. The reasons are uncertain .Some believe it's because they were looking for better food. According to Zhao HuaidongfromInternational Fund for Animal Welfare, the number of Asian elephants is rising because of human protection efforts. So their old homes might not have enough food for them.At the same time, elephants are quite interested in the vegetables and fruit that people grow.
Another possible reason, according to Chen, is that they lost their way. Some scientists also believe that they were traveling because of migratory instinct(迁徙本能).
During their long journey, the elephants damaged 561,333 square meters of crops(庄稼). But we need to protect them. For the safety of both humans and the elephant, people fed them tons of food to guide them away from towns and cities. Seventy police cars and trucks were used to keep an eye on the elephants.
Luckily, the elephants came back to the living place where they used to live at last.
a. fed them food b. guided them c. kept them in a safe place d. sent them by trucks
Why is setting goals(目标) important? Because goals can help you do and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you make your life happen.
Successful people in life imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals. It's like having a sign to show you where you want to go. Think of it in this way. There are two drivers. One has a place to go to clearly in mind which can be found on a map. He can drive straight there without any wasted time. The other driver has no goal or map. But he drives aimlessly(无目的地) around, never getting anywhere, just usingup oil. Which driver do you want to be?
They decide what they want in life and then get there by setting goals and making plans. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren't difficult to set. and they aren't difficult to reach. You are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life.
Research tells us that when we write a goal down, we are more likely to achieve it. They are harder to forget. Also when you write your goals in your own way, you are able to make yourself realize situations that will bring you nearer to your goals.

B. He starts off at the same time from the same place.
C. It's up to you to find out what your goals really are.
D. By setting goals you are taking control of your life.
E. Winners in life set goals and follow through on them.

The king shouted a loud voice."Effendi, since you knew when my Minister would die, you must know the date of your own death. Say it out, you'll die today."Effendi answered,"But how can I know? I'll die two days earlier than you."The king was afraid if he killed Effendi, he would die after that. He thought he must keepEffendi alive long as possible, so he let Effendi go.
